==========
This module is based on the sections module here:
http://drupal.org/project/sections

This module allows you to create sections of your website defined by path or PHP code
Admin->Build->Panels Sections (admin/build/panels_sections)

After you have defined sections, you must place one line of code in your template.php 
_phptemplate_variables function at the end of the hook = 'page' control:

------------
panels_sections_takeover($vars);
------------

This does the following:

- check if current path has a panels_page specified for it. 
if so, takeover the current page with the panels_page

- if not, check if current path is registered to a panels_section, 
if so takeover the current page with the panels_page associated with the section

- pass on variables to the panel and do some text replacing to allow 
the Panels Content Placeholder block to be replaced with page content 
this allows for panels to take over any page, and normal page content is
outputted where the Panels Content Placeholder block is placed


WARNING: This function will unset some $vars (help, tabs, title, messages)
 so make sure this function is called AFTER any $vars manipulation
